That is hard. I understand cutting in order to deal with it. I cut when I am hurt or scared or mad or pretty much any intense feeling that I don't know what else to do with. Having my husband worried about me because he thinks I am going to cut also makes me want to cut. Please try not to feel guilty about it. Maybe you are depressed, and maybe you are going through a normal grieving process. Either way, your T can help you through it, and so can reaching out to friends. I think that getting some closure about losing your dog will make a difference. Anybody would have a hard time with that. Don't be hard on yourself, and don't forget that you have friends who care about you and will do what we can to help.

Sending supportive thoughts and good feelings your direction,
Wendy
